  1. I was just thinking about the child who was disemboweled

    HeatherB,CST replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard of many children drowning when their fingers get stuck in the grates of even the ssfety covers...That's why I always keep an eagle-eye on the kids whe they go into the deep end, near the...

  2. Male nurse looks

    HeatherB,CST replied to albert6jed's topic in Men in Nursing

    See my answer to your similar thread in the male student nursing forum. I would like to add to that post one thing. Democracy does not mean you don't have to follow rules set by your school. I live...

  3. male nurse haircut rules

    HeatherB,CST replied to albert6jed's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am a former hairstylist, so I understand the desire to "express yourself" trichologically. However, you have to remember, the field you are entering is not about looking cool. The hospital is no...

  4. If you are scrubbed in....

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Operating Room

  5. Why Women Take So Long in the Bathroom

    HeatherB,CST replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Too funny! Reminds me of something that happened recently in a hospital restroom...This was a single restroom with a toilet and sink. No hook for my purse, and the floor was grungy, so I set it on...

  6. Any outlandish therapy, you've thought up?

    HeatherB,CST replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

  7. Do you think this would be goofy?

    HeatherB,CST replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's really

  8. Do you think this would be goofy?

    HeatherB,CST replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, not goofy! I bought A&P coloring books to do over the summer, and I'm already a lot more familiar. I'm excited for my fall classes, but I know they will be a challenge. I figure the more I...

  9. Whites or Colored scrubs?

    HeatherB,CST replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital where I've spent the most time has a "color coded" way of telling the nurses from CNAs and ancillary staff. Housekeeping wears khaki tops w/ black pants, patient transport wears all...

  10. Working with new circulators

    HeatherB,CST replied to Sammy25's topic in Operating Room

  12. PLEASE don't do it!

    HeatherB,CST replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    Wow, what an eye-opener this thread is...I would have thought the kind of woman that would be stupid enough to fall into this, would be too flaky, dim-witted or emotionally unstable to become a nurse...

  13. Single Mom in LA area?

    HeatherB,CST replied to cjulian214's topic in California Nursing

    As someone who raised two children in the Pasadena area, I strongly recommend against trying to build a good life for your kids in LA county. We moved to central NC two years ago, and I really did not...

  14. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    HeatherB,CST replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is kind of an old thread, but I'm bringing it back...there are some great stories on here! I had just started a new job and was standing near a group of coworkers who were talking and...

  15. Run get it...scrub tech student!

    HeatherB,CST replied to AngelGail's topic in Nursing Humor

    [color=#191970]this is not mine, but from a scrub tech... [color=#191970]actual practical joke: circulator calls sterile processing and gets new guy on the phone. the cn says she needs a "member...

  16. True ER stories

    HeatherB,CST replied to Kel Cardaras's topic in Nursing Humor

    That's awesome...I'm sure she got a kick out of it too. That kind of humor really makes a hospital stay more pleasant for the patient, IMO. My brother dialyzed through a permacath, and every week,...

    HeatherB,CST replied to mvanz9999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that was quick and easy! Good luck, I'm taking Psych now too and I wish our assignments were this

  18. Advice on Santa Monica

    HeatherB,CST replied to twilight3's topic in California Nursing

    I've never lived there, but I've heard great things about Wilmington, NC. I know there are a few big hospitals there, it's coastal, and lots of ppl in central NC where I live go there for vacations....

  19. Advice on Santa Monica

    HeatherB,CST replied to twilight3's topic in California Nursing

    As a 18 year resident of Los Angeles County, I can tell you this. You will probably love it as long as you remain single, childless, and employed. I moved there fresh out of high school, worked as a...

  20. HIPPA -- Use patient's first name or last name?

    HeatherB,CST replied to Aunt Minnie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this was a HIPAA violation or not, but it sure ticked me off... A few years ago, I was at my drugstore phramacy and I noticed that they had begun the practice of giving out a number to...

  23. "Circulating is so easy"

    HeatherB,CST replied to ORSmurf's topic in Operating Room

    EXACTLY!!!! I chose ST over nursing school because I wanted to work in the medical field but, in my exact words at the time, "circumvent the cleaning up of poo." If it was workable, I'd be going to...

    HeatherB,CST replied to EmmaG's topic in General Nursing

  25. "Circulating is so easy"

    HeatherB,CST replied to ORSmurf's topic in Operating Room

    Oh, also, I would like to add that I am sure I will never be able to fully appreciate how stressful circulating can be. You all have my utmost
